The progress of the Mercosur–European Union agreement marks a new phase in international trade relations, expanding markets, stimulating investment flows, and enhancing regulatory integration between both blocs. While the economic potential is significant, companies must be adequately prepared from a legal, regulatory, and contractual perspective to fully benefit from these opportunities.
Economic studies point to positive impacts on Brazil’s GDP, trade balance, and foreign direct investment. Tariff reductions, the gradual removal of non-tariff barriers, and access to a market of over 700 million consumers offer substantial competitive advantages for exporters in sectors such as agribusiness, manufacturing, technology, and services.
At the same time, the agreement brings stricter regulatory standards, particularly in environmental, sanitary, labor, compliance, and governance matters. Successful market entry and expansion require robust legal structuring, international contract design, regulatory compliance, and comprehensive due diligence.
In this context, RONALDO MARTINS & Advogados, through its international hub in Madrid, provides end-of-end legal assistance to companies seeking to expand their exports, investments, and business activities within the European Union.
